The database load balancer would re-raise ConnectionNotEstablished
errors when encountering them. This can lead to user facing errors
whenever the application tries to connect to a new database that is not
(yet) online.

This was discovered while testing the changes for
https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/68042, after
adding a replica host that didn't exist.

Changelog: fixed

By always enabling the database load balancer we reduce the amount of
different code paths, make it easier for developers to interact with the
load balancing code (e.g. by adding metrics), and make it easier to add
support for multiple databases (e.g. by not having to check if the load
balancer is enabled or not).

As part of this commit we fixed various parts of the code that didn't
expect the load balancer to always be enabled (or at least when running
tests).

With this, we'll emit 2 new counters from web processes that can be
used to monitor apdex.

The `gitlab_sli:rails_request_apdex:total` counter is incremented for
every successful (not a 500) that is not to a health endpoint.

The `gitlab_sli:rails_request_apdex:success_total` is incremented when
the request took less than 1 second. We intend to customize this value
per endpoint in the future.

Both these counters are labelled with `feature_category` and
`endpoint_id` from the context.

The metrics would also be initialized on the first scrape. This means
that a 0 would be available for every set of labels, avoiding bugs in
calculations with these metrics.

To get to all of the `feature_category`s and `endpoint_id`s for the
initialization, we had to move some code that iterates all endpoints
that was only used in tests to the application.

We know this would initialize about 2 * 2500 metrics per pod
running a web server. So we'd like to roll this out in a controlled
fashion, to make sure this doesn't impact our monitoring. Which is why
this is feature flagged.

This also limits the initialization of these metrics to just
web-processes. So they don't get generated for consoles or runner
processes.

This also includes a developer-api to define SLIs and encourages
initializing them with the known label sets.
